Has anyone tried painting over the plastidip? I would like to try painting my rims a Dark grey. I was thinking a couple coats of black plastidip fully dried followed by a couple of coats of a Dark Grey spray paint. Do you think you would still be able peel off the base coat of plastidip effectively removing the top coat as well? I may give it a shot on something other than my car this weekend.

Dude, I think doing that, you're gonna have a serious mess on your hands, definitely experiment on something first before you touch the Z, just my 2 cents.

I think it might be possible but it would be a lot harder. You would probably need several layers of plasti dip to make it easier to take off.

Ok, I'm in the process of test painting a bucket lid now. I did three coats of black plastidip as my base. Now I'm painting over it. We'll see how it goes.

Take pictures, so we can all see..

FYI, the paint over plastidip idea was a failure. It looks fine but is very difficult to remove. I highly recommend against doing anything similar.

When you guys did your wheels did you remove the tires and stems or did you just take them off the car and painted them?
